I was getting an error about an iso file during start up but because I was trying different things I had read on other sites and now I have a bigger problem because I can no longer start in safe mode. I have found a Win 95 cd
INFO:
Compaq Armada 1505DM
Horrible bios with out normal function so I can not boot from the CD
64 MB mem
100-200 mhz
starts with only mem check afterwards Makes noise that suggest I can boot from the floppy (no floppy drive on my computer, although I could put one in if I have too
after that I see the win 95 screen then a few sec later says:
While initializing device IOS:
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt,
or the system is low on memory.
When safe mode was working one of the things I tried was renaming the suspected folder as I had read that somewhere else I now know that was a huge mistake.
Please help......
I can get it to work in the comand prompt mode where you see C:\>
I tried selecting the Drive D (CD I think) and typing setup for the Win 95 but that did not work it said there is no directory for the drive. I dont know how to use this system to rename folders tell me what to type and I will do it.
I have a floppy drive now on my computer but all of the disks I have tried will not format so I could not make a win 95 boot disk that I found on bootdisk dot com.
Thanks much
